St Blazey beat the rain to end 2012 on a high

ST BLAZEY withstood a brave fight from Liskeard and difficult playing conditions to record a deserved win at Blaise Park on Saturday, writes LEE HALL.

The premier division clash was one of only two fixtures in the Carlsberg Peninsula League to go ahead after passing a morning pitch inspection.

But despite a very heavy pitch, Bobby Oaten's men coped well, as did Paul Blatchford's Blues, who took a surprise eighth minute lead through Tom Hall following a mistake by Blazey goalkeeper Dave Painter.
